5:02 pm
on the national mall for the festival. >> that's where we find suray chin in northwest washington. suray. >> oh my goodness. you can just see it on people's faces just how hot it is. check it out. we are here at one of the watering stations where you can fill up your water bottle for free and a number of them throughout the festival. you're going to need a lot of it, when especially, the thermometer says 103 degrees right on the national mall. but brave souls have come out here, just trying to keep cool. >> we're hot. >> nothing like a little -- >> shave ice. >> to keep from melting in the summer sun down at the festival. >> i don't think our body can take it. we'll try to get in a museum. >> marcus schilling is carting his three children around. >> it's hotter down there. >> nothing? >> no, no. this is hot. >> so hot it seems the volunteers at the first aide

5:04 pm
there are about 100,000 people have come out to the festival in the last few days. 1million are expected for the ten-day festival. back to you in the studio. >> i keep looking at these numbers and it says 107. go cool off, please. >> sky 9 is giving us a bird's eye view of a rescue effort that continues right now at a collapsed warehouse in prince georges county. 19 hours after the roof caved in, they are hoping a man who has gone missing could be under that debris and alive. right now, a new phase of the difficult rescue operation has just begun at the recall document storage in landover. that's where our reporter is monitoring the slow motion drama unfolding. scott. >> well, we have all heard those stories after earthquakes of people surviving for days. that is what rescuers here in prince georges county are in fact hoping for. they just got three cranes on
5:05 pm
the site of getting into this building, which threatens to collapse at any moment. we just heard some crashing inside a few moments ago. they are looking for 46-year- old warehouse worker, rowland haggins. hopefully still alive, buried in there somewhere. the scale of this disaster became clear from sky 9 early this morning. somewhere under all of that, a warehouse worker named roland haggans. husband and father of two, may still be alive. >> hoping my brother comes out alive. >> his brother says he talked to coworkers who offered hope. >> he was on the forklift when it happened. he could have barricaded himself in the forklift. if he was on the forklift, he's a smart young man. he's probably in the forklift and sitting there waiting until some help gets to him. >> his car is still here in the parking lot.
5:06 pm
when we called the cell phone, it goes directly to voice mail. we feel fairly confident that he is still inside that building. the fire department considers this a rescue mission and we will do so until we find him. >> it has not been easy. early today, rescuers were pulled out when it was clear the building was shifting and on the verge of further collapse. there was an agonizing pause to get two cranes in place to begin lifting material from the top. the work has now begun. rescuers targeting inside the building, on rated by recall document storage. >> the person unaccounted for was working in aisle number six. they have very tall storage racks that are filled up with boxes of paper files. he was in aisle 6 working. from what we understand, the forklift accidentally hit one of these large storage racks, causing a domino effect collapse of all of those and then one of the storage racks hit a main support beam for the
5:07 pm
roof, which caused a roof to collapse and subsequently under the weight of that, the walls buckled underneath of that. >> all right, so it's a drama, but it's a slow motion drama. everybody needs to be patient out here according to fire chief, who just talked to us. he said this is going to take days, not hours, but they are still very hopeful that the end of this will be a happy ending with this man rescued. reporting live in landover, scott broom, 9news now. >> that would make the whole slow motion operation worth it. thank you, scott. president obama got a firsthand look at what is the most destructive wild fire in colorado's history. the president declared the state a disaster area, clearing the way for federal aid. he also visited a fire house to thank the first responders for risking their lives to fight the flames. >> these folks, some of them have been working 18 hour days, 20 hour days, trying to make sure that these fires get put out. >> almost 350 homes have been
5:08 pm
destroyed in colorado springs. 32,000 people have been forced from their homes and one person sadly was found dead in the ruins. there are still several others missing. as of this morning, the week- old wild fire was just 15% contained. who will make the cut at the at&t national? today is the day players find out if they make it to the weekend or go home. >> let's go back to derek and mike for a look at the golf side of the story. just need you to pull out for a second because derek, what is -- what are those? what is happening? >> are you jealous of the shorts? is that what it is? >> we jokingly called it a hot mess, even though you call it madris. >> these are much, much cooler. i want to note that everybody else on set brought their shorts from the khaki store. i refuse to go there. and went to the cool guy store to get these. >> he said look, they match. there's one stitch of blue down
5:09 pm
here in the corner. >> there is a piece of blue right here. just like the shirt. i don't see where you can go wrong. >> all right, let's go up for a second. leader board. we have some people tied for the top. the heat is on and so are some of the scores. take a look. three way tie, robert at minus 5. hunter mayhan is on fire. he is finishing at minus 5. he's on 15 right now. and you can see the bottom there. sing dropped a couple of shots. he is minus 3. >> all right, and joining us now right here in the mighty oven, which is our outdoor studio. author, journalist, and golfer. >> i play golf, that doesn't make me a golfer. there's a big difference. >> you have played this course recently. i want to ask your personal opinion. who do you think will make a push over the weekend? >> it doesn't look good for
5:10 pm
anybody. it's just really, really hard. after what happened at the u.s. open last year when roy mcllroy shot 16 under par, nobody wanted to see that happen again. it's a historic golf course. the rough is long. the greens are very hard and fast because of the heat. and as you see, 5 under is leading. the cut is going to be 6 over. that is an extremely high cut on the pga tour. usually the cut is around even par. the cut is going to be closer to 6 over. that tells you how hard the golf course is playing. one guy who has an advantage. it's tiger woods, who is only three shots back. he is two under for the tournament. and he is in as good shape as any golfer in the world. he's kind of, almost a workout addict. part of the reason people think he had problems with his knees is he worked out. he could have an edge. >> the next generation, the
5:11 pm
hunter mayhan's, does he have a chance on something long enough for this course? >> he shot 62 here in 2009, the last round, and almost caught tiger woods from behind. he's as capable of going low on any golf course on the pga tour as anybody out here. >> we have to ask you quickly. everybody is excited to have it here. it is guaranteed through 2014. what about after that? >> there are a lot of questions. the club have options. whether to go forward or not. there are a will the of club members who don't like giving up their club for a week in the middle of the summer. even though they get a will the of money, they don't like that they have to clear out. i think it's no better than 50/50 that it's back here. at best that it's back here in 2015. >> a lot of folks in the area like the tournament. we hope it sticks around. >> it might stay in the area. they might go somewhere else in the area, but not be here. i know that wouldn't make tiger woods happy. when he came here, he wanted to
5:12 pm
be at congressional. he wanted to host major championships. >> we thank you and we thank you for the candor as well. >> back in the studio where it's nice and cool. >> we wanted to stick around, don't we? thank you guys. coming up, he publicly declared his love for her on oprah's couch. now it appears katie holmes is going to end her marriage to tom cruise in court. >> but up next, a white house pushes back against new republican attacks on the president healthcare reform law. we'll be back.
5:13 pm
5:14 pm
the headlines were all about upholding the affordable care act today. the museum posted hundreds of front pages this morning about yesterday's historic supreme
5:15 pm
court decision. the display on pennsylvania avenue included one newspaper from each state and the district. the supreme court's decision is giving new ammunition to republicans who want to make it a big issue on the campaign trail. mitt romney's campaign says the presidential candidate has raised more than $4 million in the 24 hours after the ruling. president obama's campaign would not release exactly how much money it has taken in, but did say it was more than what the romney camp reported. >> if americans knew that failure to comply resulted in a tax hike, of course the bill never would have passed. >> some people call it a tax, some people call it a fee. i call it a personal responsibility premium. >> the white house says although calling the individual mandate a tax, saved the law as far as the constitution goes. the president considers it a penalty for failing to buy insurance, not a tax. the president is urging lawmakers to move forward, but house speaker, john boehner, plans to hold a repeal vote in two weeks.
5:16 pm
>> the speaker will be a guest on this sunday's face the nation, and norah o'donnell is joining us. it's great to see you. we know you will have no shortage of topics to explore with the speaker, clearly the affordable care act. and republicans said they will take this fight from the court to the campaign trail. >> that's exactly right, lesli. and speaker john boehner says that they want this law ripped out by its roots. they are promising to repeal the law in the house of representatives. it should be noted that the house has already voted some 30 times to repeal or defund this law. it hasn't gotten them very far because the democrats, of course, control the senate and of course barack obama would veto anything that came out of the congress. but this is going to be part of the election debate, no doubt, as you hear the republicans are picking up on the argument that was made by chief justice, john roberts, that this is a tax. so they are saying this will be
5:17 pm
a massive tax on individuals and massive tax on employers. the white house counterargument is, it's not a tax, it's a penalty. but this is going to be part of the debate, especially with the economy and jobs being the central issue for everybody. >> a quick question for you about chief justice roberts. because it sounds like he did not really want to back this law. but he has really come out as a winner in all of this. do you think his support of the affordable care act did anything to shift the perceptions of him and this court? >> chief justice, john roberts, was appointed chief justice by george w. bush. he is a republican appointee and wow did he take a tongue lashing from the conservatives today. rush limbaugh, essentially voting with the four liberals on the supreme court to uphold the president's healthcare reform. i think that the chief justice was looking towards his legacy
5:18 pm
and history. there's a will the of court watchers that expected in the end, that the chief justice would want to be on the majority opinion here. so that's probably why he ruled this way. it did throw everybody for a loop, that it was not under the valid clause, but instead, under the power for congress to levee a tax. that's why you see republicans making political out of that. how much is this going to affect you? the average american? people will have to get health insurance if you don't have it. employers will have to buy it and the states have a big burden. >> people want to know how this is going to work and how it's going to affect them. we'll be watching you. >> great to see you, lesli. >> we're going to send it back out to the guys at con congressional for the latest on the heat. aally, derek ran into somebody who had a can of it, huh? >> several cans of it, actually. >> the focus on the guys that
5:19 pm
went to the khaki shorts store. >> derek can get away with that. here's the deal. it's 104 at national. >> did you notice it's been cooler? it dropped by a degree. >> all right, let's start with current temperatures. excessive heat warning until 9:00 p.m. if you're an exercise nut, you don't want to exercise at all in the evening. it's 104 downtown. 100 in manassas. 102 in frederick. 100 in culpeper. it jumped the mountains to get to 86 in oakland. if you factor in the humidity and get a heat index. today unlike yesterday, it does boost the temperatures. feels like it's 112 downtown. these are dangerous heat indexes. 1099 in gaithersburg. feels like it's 112 in manassas. now here's the deal. tomorrow, we're going to dial it back a little bit. we'll say 99. thunderstorm possible. sunday here at congressional, 96. an isolated thunderstorm
5:20 pm
possible. while that is -- still dangerous. you still need to do the same things we have been talking about. wear light colored clothing, drink lots of water. get out of the full sun. plenty of shade. you can duck out of the shade. heat indexes, 110 to 115. that's the temperature that we feel. body has to deal with. again, that warning continues until 9:00 tonight. we are under a watch for tomorrow. we'll probably see the heat warning issued again tomorrow. record highs, well, 101. we blew that out of the water. 104 at national. and 101 at dulles. so, we're going to go code yellow saturday, sunday, and monday. 96 sunday. and 95 on monday. here's the extended forecast. we up temperatures next week. nothing crazy, but we'll stay in the 90s. i put a thunderstorm in as well for the fourth with temperatures in the mid to upper 90s and going down a little bit as we get into thursday.
5:21 pm
then finally friday, we are back in the 80s, upper 80s. which is so refreshing. >> how hot does it have to get before it becomes a red weather alert day? >> if this were day three or four of the heat wave, we probably would. normally your body takes the first couple of days. we are going to evaluate that. good question. >> you want to cool off? what are some of the things you can do to cool off? go shopping. you can do that here. the places you can buy at&t tournament swag. this is what he'll be wearing. in the swag shop, or the merchandise shop, they have every day of his uniform, whatever you want to call it, for the tournament. this is what he will be wearing tomorrow. this will set you back $85. now, those are tiger's shoes. we have a pair for them right here. these are the tiger shoes. $179. how much does it cost for a regular pair of golf shoes? >> you can get them for $70 or
5:22 pm
$80. here you go tiger. >> and i'll be modeling the lady's apparel today. this is a $59 value. so the ladies can buy something as well. >> and they are air- conditioned. >> speaking of air- conditioning, ladies, back to you. >> that's not a bad looking combo there. the bright green. >> which one of us gets the top with the purple. that's fly. >> that is fly. >> this has lesli written all over it. >> i think it does. >> thanks a lot. >> all right. we've got to move on. coming up, the man accused of shooting and killing trayvon martin may have to spend another weekend in jail. but up next, that's your ring tone. today marks the anniversary of the debut of the first iphone.
5:23 pm
5:24 pm
5:25 pm

5:26 pm
vehicles. the gas pedals in the 2010 lexus rx450h and rx450 can get trapped by the floor mat and take off without notice. toyota called back more than 14 million vehicles around the world to fix the floor mats and other safety problems. if you have one of these vehicles, you'll want to take out the driver side floor mat and get your car to a dealer quickly. apple's iphone turns 5 today. and my how the times have changed. back then, blackberry dominated and no android phones. the first iphone set you back $600. it quickly went down to $200. a survey found that 15% of participants say they would rather give up sex with their partner than to go without the iphone for the weekend. now that's pretty amazing. >> well, on that note, the national port rat gallery is offering up a new exhibit that
5:27 pm
coincides with the 75th anniversary of the disappearance of amelia earhart. photographed paintings and drawings. you can see her pilot's license and leather flying helmet. the show, one life, amelia earhart is on view through next may. they didn't make it to the seven year itch. coming up, tom cat calling it quits. mike. >> you know, the fans out here are hot, but we think we have a couple solutions. we tried to figure out how they are dealing with it, too. we'll explain a couple of the best ideas coming up.

back to our extreme temperatures. a group of girls were overcome by the heat today. the youngsters were attending a girl scout camp at serenity farm. >> they can come on so quickly. peggy fox is in maryland with
5:30 pm
the latest on their condition. >> eight children and one leader were taken to hospitals after showing signs of heat exhaustion. the rest of the girl scouts came here to the benedict volunteer fire department to cool off. >> it was like really scary for me. >> the scorching heat on the last day of a week-long girl scout camp at serenity farm in charles county, got a little too exciting. >> weak in the knees and before you know it, one was passing out and it was dominoes. they were all dropping like flies. >> leaders and emergency officials say nobody actually passed out. but when the ambulances arrived and put a few kids on stretchers, it seemed to raise the anxiety among the campers and more started feeling ill. >> people going out on beds and they already getting wheeled out. they are shaking and crying. >> one camper starts getting upset, they all start to see it and they feed off each other.
5:31 pm
>> sharon dean is the leader of the girl scout day camp which was moved to serenity farm, because their camp in calvert county was destroyed by hurricane irene last year. >> we knew it was going to be hot. we department have the bay breeze. >> all the children who went to the hospitals have since been released and doing much better. that leader is still there trying to get back to normal. reporting in charles county, peggy fox, 9news now. >> firefighters battled the heat and the flames when a house caught fire this morning near american university. the fire broke out just before dawn on glenbrook road in northwest. the smoke could be seen for miles away. no neighboring homes were damaged and nobody was hurt. the firefighters drank water and used wet towels to keep themselves cool. >> keeping cool anywhere is a challenge today. especially when you're on a wide open country club golf course with little shade and aside from the clubhouse, no air-conditioning. >> derek and mike join us from
5:32 pm
the veranda. i was taking a jog early this morning and there were fans pouring in early this morning. >> you took a jog? >> consider me impressed. no matter where you were, it was hot out today. if you were inside, you probably had air-conditioning. >> that is not the case for golf fans. they love the sport, so they are dealing with it today. they are doing whatever they can to keep cool. getting shade with your umbrella, wiping your face down. any kind of misting. any shade tree is a bonus. >> make sure i wore cool clothing and bought an extra shirt. so if i start feeling sunburned, i can put it on. >> there's not much you can do. you have to grin and bare it and accept it and have fun. >> or get a cool hat. although it is dark. the fans did the best they could with the water. the sunscreen often, you can take breaks and go inside and

the trail of smoke from those wild fires in colorado is so long and wide, astronauts can see it from the international space station. you can see the pictures there and the streak of smoke heading toward the lower right hand side of the screen. more than half the nation's wild fire fighting resources are trying to put this one out. now, fighting a fire is certainly a sweaty job, but excessive perspiration can be an issue for all of us. randall takes a look at a new device that is promising relief. >> i go back and forth between using regular and more like clinical strength. >> shelby says she can't ever have enough antipersent.
5:45 pm
so she can reapply often. kiefer says from the time she was ten years old, she has perspired profusely, sometimes for no reason. >> a lot of white shirts get ruined or discolored, which is annoying. >> kiefer is hoping a new fda approved treatment will fix her problem. first, a nurse maps out her under arm and gives her 20 to 30 shots of numbing anesthetic. then the doctor runs a device over her under arm skin. it sucks up sections of the skin and then shoots them with microwaves. >> we are heating up this junction between the second and third layers of the skin. >> one in five americans believe they sweat too much. a condition called hyperhydro sis. and they don't do a lot to help. the common treatment is botox,
5:46 pm
but only works for a few months. patients experienced an 82% reduction in sweat over 18 months. kiefer has a few weeks of soreness and swelling ahead of her. then she must repeat the process a second time. >> if it gets rid of most of my sweating, then it's worth it. >> most patients say the results are immediate. randall, cbs news, new york. >> you can see where that might be needed in extreme cases. every person is born between 2 and 4 million sweat glands. the procedure can cost between $2,000 and $3,000. it is not covered by health insurance. plenty of sweat to go around out there today. that's why the 9 weather team declared a yellow alert day. more on this very, very hot forecast. dangerous heat, top, really. >> it really is. we have some records to share. we'll get to that in a minute. two of the three airports broke records today and we are with no relief in sight.
5:47 pm
whatever you're doing, you need to take that into account and follow the same tips, so you stay safe over the weekend. let's start with the current temperatures. everybody still over 100. most folks over 100. we're looking at the hottest part of the day. 104 downtown. the high 102 in frederick. we are reading 104 here a minute ago at the set here in bethesda. 100 in fredericksburg. if you factor in the humidity, it feels like it's 112 in culpeper. that's pretty dangerous heat indexes. you need to listen to your body and drink lots and lots of fluid. the forecast for tomorrow, we'll dial it back to 99. maybe an isolated thunderstorm. that's the only release we'll see, and 96 on sunday. also an isolated thunderstorm possible, the only relief we'll see for a while. spikes back up next week. so here's the deal.
5:48 pm
dangerous heat. i know we keep harping on this, but we need to. wear light colored clothing. drink lots of water. get out of full sun when possible. and eat light meals. don't eat one or two big meals. you want to eat a bunch of smaller meals. excessive heat warning is in effect until 9:00 tonight. there's an excessive heat watch tomorrow. that means heat indexes can go 110 to 115 and that's the temperature your body has to deal with. that's why we say drink lots and lots of fluids. you don't think yourself thirsty, drink it. so here are the records. 104 at national. that's a new record. 103 up in baltimore. they fell shy, and 102, a new record at dulles. they blew that record out of the water. that was only 95. we knew that record was going to fall. we knew we might tie downtown, but now we broke it big time, 104. hottest so far this summer. early isolated thunderstorm tonight. radar is quiet. otherwise partly cloudy and
5:49 pm
